BERAN, IN HIS ATTEMPT TO BE THE COURT JESTER, FAILED TO INDICATE WHERE ALL THESE MILLIONS CAME FROM.&nbsp; These millions Beran boasted about certainly were not created by governments, politicians, bureaucrats and other hangers on.&nbsp; They were taken by force (stolen) from the producers in plain sight with impunity and no shame.&nbsp; Nowhere in the article did the newspaper question where the money came from and specifically what it was used for and the burdens placed on middleclass taxpayers as well as the infusion of monies into the system from continuing increases in tuition.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nBeran related <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Our job is to create taxpayers\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/strong><\/span>.&nbsp; An outlandish but revealing statement by a so-called \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Educator\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.&nbsp; Recall that Beran and others have created an \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Entrepreneurial School\u00e2\u20ac\u009d which is a slap in the face of real entrepreneurs. If Beran and his minions knew anything about the entrepreneurial system they in all likelihood would be entrepreneurs themselves, but in Beran &amp; minions capacity they denigrate and punish true taxpaying entrepreneurs.&nbsp; <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>ENTREPRENEURS ARE SELF-MADE. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Beran\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s concept about \u00e2\u20ac\u0153job creation\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is government expansion, i.e. hiring more employees who drag down society by the day.&nbsp; For example, he brags that from 2008-2011 the school\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s operating budget increased from $28.6 million to $72.6 million, a<strong> 60% increase, <\/strong>that included a 1700 student increase in enrollment.&nbsp;&nbsp; No word from Beran how the <strong>$44 million <\/strong>increase was spent.&nbsp; More about \u00e2\u20ac\u0153job creation\u00e2\u20ac\u009d: in the same time span Beran increased the number of faculty by 89 (that is a <strong>38% increase)<\/strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u201dno justification. These are not Jobs, they are government positions that demand producers produce more and are forced to give more. <\/p>\n<p>Beran concluded by stating \u00e2\u20ac\u0153we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve become a comprehensive regional university\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.&nbsp;&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; There is a so-called university in practically every cow town in Arkansas.&nbsp; Research on \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Regionalism\u00e2\u20ac\u009d reveals correlation with Communism. <\/p>\n<p>All colleges and universities are wallowing in hundreds of millions of dollars that are stolen from taxpayers on a regular basis while most Arkansans and Americans never raise an eyebrow. <br \/>\nGovernment runs a giant protection racket, e.g. this week Governor Beebe dished out 1% to 3% raises to government employees regardless of merit. <br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nA very annoying spending spree by UAFS is a raft of billboards, some electronic, across the city and state. When did a billboard ever convince a student to attend any school? &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Will the producers ever realize that politicians, bureaucrats &amp; other hangers on are driving them into the ground on a grand scale and understand that an all-out smack down must occur across the board to the self-serving, parasitic government destructors? Education is no longer a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Sacred-Cow\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Our national debt, not including unfunded mandates ($75 Trillion) is $16.4 Trillion and has increased by $1.4 Trillion in this year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s budget.<br \/>\nJoe McCutchen&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;arkansasfreedom.net&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fortsmithtruth.com\">www.fortsmithtruth.com<\/a> &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BY GOVERNMENT, FOR GOVERNMENT.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;June 4, 2012 Is Univ. of Ark.
